Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Assemble cookies: Take a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then fold the dough around it to form a ball.
- Bake: Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount of ground cinnamon in the cookie dough.
